Thanks EC Like you I listen every now and then, depending on who is on . I used to listen on a regular basis , way back when

 

That archive sounds like it is right up your street Baz. you can listen to the new or relive the old. Enjoy. 

 

Edit: I enjoyed the Jamie Cullum programme.

Y'know i have never listened - but always thought i should.

No excuses now . . .

Thankyou E.C That will wile a few hours in the coming months of nasty weather and cold days when I can't go out. Much appreciated.

Which begs the question . . .

 

What would YOUR Desert Island Discs be?

I think we should do our own Desert island Discs - pick our six faves and say why. I've been to a couple of dinner parties with that theme - really good fun 

 

I'll be back later with mine - I'm watching Mrs Biggs.

 

 

I'm sure you will find plenty of interest Saint. I have started using the search function, popping in names of people to see if they have featured.

 

 

 

 

My pleasure Sezit, hope you enjoy.

Ohhhhh EC, that looks fab. Thank you

 

Renton - deffo Je Suis Un Rock Star, and deffo Echo Beach. I'll get back to you with the others

 

At least one will be from Les Mis

 

I was so hoping no one would pose that question. I have tried before and find so difficult. I once whittled it down to around 200 songs (I was doing it with a friend), but could not get down further. So we agreed on a figure of 200 and called it a day !!!

 

 

They played Echo Beach on Radio Two this lunchtime - I was in my car and sang along. 

Noooooooo ... I missed it

 

 

And it would have to be One Day More from Les Mis

 

And maybe The Story Of The Blues, The Mighty Whah, perhaps?

Mine would include Bette Midler's The Rose, Handel's Water Music , and Ennio Morricone's The Mission

We listen before the Archers Omnibus. Daniel Libeskind was a particular favourite. He actually chose a piece of Kurt Schwitters' work. We enjoyed Nigella Lawson's choices too. I will return once I have thought about my current choices.

Anyone who picks a Zappa or Beefheart track is remarked upon also.

What a superb archive/resource!

 

I searched the first person that came to mind - John Peel - his selections were as eclectic as one would expect covering... classical, punk, reggae, pop, rhythm&blues!

Bloody Norah EC, 200, I thought I was bad! Get some discipline.....I'll come back to you with my wavering choices, the ones that will probably never shift are:

 

Joyful bugga, aren't I?

 

 

I approve of all of those Baz...if I had 200 choices!

We play this game at least once a fortnight!

It's hard isn't it Super ... So many songs , so little time
